Well yesterday I finally got around to having the smoked turkey legs that
were in the freezer. Today I boiled up the bones with some curry powder,
onions, garlic, and carrots for a couple of hours.

Drained the stock, fried up some onions & celery added a can of lentils
(pre-cooked); potatoes, carrots, sage leaf.

'Tis cooking as I write - and tastes fabulous - the smokey bones of the
turkey, really add a new dimension.

Not sure if anything else (apart from parsley) could be added at the end for
more flavour.

Hmmm.....sounds like a great idea. Since Sunday, I've been staring at a pile
of mesquite-smoked chicken I did on the grill. Maybe a soup like this is in
the cards.

Mmm, sounds really good. I used to make a black bean/red rice/sausage soup
with stock made from a smoked turkey carcass. Will have to get my husband
to smoke me a turkey soon!

I *almost* bought some smoked turkey legs when I was at the grocery store
last week! Your post made me think of it. Maybe next time, along with some
turnip greens to use the meat in and lentils for the soup! Thanks!
